A term normally found on college campuses, the title became popular when many people did not have early morning classes on Fridays, allowing them to drink and party on Thursday night. Every Thursday of every week durring the semester is Thirsty Thursday; there is no specific or special date for it.

Pioneered by business school students who don't have class on friday like everyone else. Thirsty Thursday's is the worship of the gods of alcohol intoxication with limited consequences. Most important at colleges with a high commuter to on campus population ratio.

More recently redefined as a night of unsavoury desperate behaviour exhibited by single individuals at countless drinking venues around the country, regardless of whether they are Students or not. Intoxicated members of the public plagued by irremediable loneliness develop a natural thirst for attention. Males can often be seen impersonating thirsty hoes and violence can break out amongst them in displays of ritualised agnostic behaviour. Competition can be fierce due to the females being heavily outnumbered by the males. The thirst is real.
